  • Spawning Distribution of Bering Ciscoes in the Yukon River
    Transactions of the American Fisheries Society 144:292–299, 2015 American Fisheries Society 2015 ISSN: 0002-8487 print / 1548-8659 online DOI: 10.1080/00028487.2014.988881 ARTICLE Spawning Distribution of Bering Ciscoes in the Yukon River Randy J. Brown* and David W. Daum1 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 101 12th Avenue, Room 110, Fairbanks, Alaska 99701, USA Abstract Bering Ciscoes Coregonus laurettae are anadromous salmonids with known spawning populations only in the Yukon, Kuskokwim, and Susitna rivers in Alaska. A commercial fishery for the species was recently initiated at the mouth of the Yukon River, inspiring a series of research projects to enhance our understanding of the exploited population. This study was designed to delineate the geographic spawning distribution of Bering Ciscoes in the Yukon River. One hundred radio transmitters per year in 2012 and 2013 were deployed in prespawning Bering Ciscoes at a site located 1,176 km upstream from the sea. A total of 160 fish survived fish wheel capture and tagging, avoided harvest and predation after tagging, and continued migrating upstream to their spawning destinations. Approximately 79% migrated to spawn in the upper Yukon Flats, upstream from the mouth of the Porcupine River, and 21% migrated to spawn in the lower Yukon Flats. Locating the Bering Cisco spawning area, which is almost entirely encompassed by the Yukon Flats National Wildlife Refuge, enhances our ability to protect it from anthropogenic disturbance and enables future biological research on the spawning population. Conservation of migratory fish in large rivers requires an removing gravel from fish spawning habitats has been shown understanding of habitat use across a species’ range and the to reduce spawning success (Fudge and Bodaly 1984; Meng ability to manage anthropogenic impacts to essential habitats and Muller€ 1988), which could jeopardize the viability of such as migration routes and spawning areas (Gross 1987; affected populations.

  • Molecular and Otolith Tools Investigate Population of Origin and Migration of Arctic Cisco Found in the Colville River, Alaska

Zimmerman, Vanessa R. von Biela 1 Contact author: Phone (907) 786-7071; Fax (907) 786-7150; email: [email protected] Alaska Science Center U.S. Geological Survey 4210 University Drive, Anchorage, AK 99508 Prepared under USGS Offshore Research Funds Account US Department of the Interior Bureau of Ocean Energy Management Alaska Region January 2014 Executive Summary The U. S. Minerals Management Service (MMS), now the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), defined specific questions concerning Arctic cisco in the Colville River, Alaska, based on a community workshop held in Nuiqsut and requested that the U.S. Geological Survey implement a study developing and applying scientific tools and techniques to address those questions (see below Problem Statement and Justification). We used genetics, otolith chemical composition, otolith microstructure, stable isotope analyses, and stomach content analyses to assess population structure, movements, growth patterns, environmental influences on growth, and trophic dynamics of Arctic cisco from the Colville River subsistence fishery. We found support for the Mackenzie hypothesis, which suggests that Arctic cisco found in Alaskan rivers originate from the Mackenzie River, Canada. Using 11 microsatellite loci and the ATPase 6 mitochondrial gene, we found no evidence of genetic differentiation among Arctic cisco collected from the Colville River and five putative Mackenzie River spawning populations (Arctic Red, Peel, Mountain, Carcajou and Great Bear rivers; P > 0.19 in all comparisons).

Class under: Oncorhynchus (.S25) Works on ciscoes, salmon, trout, and whitefish covering species which belong to more than one genus but which fall collectively under one of these common names will be classed under the Cutter for the common name. Made-up example: Title: Guide to trouts. Subjects: Cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii), brown trout (Salmo trutta), and lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush). Class under: “trout” (.S216) The fishes are arranged by scientific (Latin) nomenclature. Only the most current standard scientific (Latin) name is given. Obsolete and debated scientific names are numerous. Adjustments to taxonomical classification are not uncommon, including reclassification to a different genus.

Aquarone and S. Adams The Arctic Ocean LME is centred on the North Pole and is bordered by the landmasses of Eurasia, North America and Greenland, or more precisely, by the LMEs adjacent to these landmasses (except for the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, see Figure XI-29.1). It covers over 6 million km2, of which 2% is protected, and contains 0.2% of the world’s sea mounts (Sea Around Us 2007). Three prominent ridges (Alpha Mendeleev Ridge, Lomonossov Ridge and Gakkel Ridge) divide the Arctic basin into four sub-basins. The LME lies within the domain of the North Atlantic Oscillation. It has a perennial ice cover that extends seasonally between 60° N and 75° N latitude. Ice cover reduces energy exchange with the atmosphere, which results in reduced precipitation and cold temperatures. The LME is subject to rapid climate change with the ice cover shrinking in thickness and extent. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) reported on 13 September 2006 that, in 2005-2006, the winter ice maximum was about 6% smaller than the average amount over the past 26 years (NASA 2006). The sea ice extent in September 2007 was about 20-25% below the long-term mean. Additional reports pertaining to the Arctic Ocean LME are found in UNEP (2004,2005).

We're glad you're here to share information and exchange ideas about salmon science and conservation in the Mat-Su Basin. We have an exciting line-up of presentations this year, including a handful of short films, and are delighted to have Richard Nelson as our keynote speaker. He is a cultural anthropologist, award-winning author, radio producer and natural sounds recordist. He produced Encounters, a public radio program about the natural world and was Alaska’s Writer laureate. His current endeavor is the online project SalmonWorld. Richard will be sharing two talks: the first on how he has used multiple mediums of written word, sound and film to communicate the miracle of salmon; and the second, an evening presentation, will explore the natural history of salmon and why these amazing creatures are so vitally important to Alaskans. Although the Mat-Su is vast and communities varied, salmon are the point where everyone connects. They fuel our economy, ecology and culture. They also feed local families. This year’s Symposium theme is ‘the wonder of salmon.’ By working together and recognizing that we each have a role – as students, teachers, scientists, managers, landowners, fishermen, developers, and industry – we all can contribute in positive ways to a future where salmon continue to thrive in the Mat-Su.
